Faced with a black/asian woman, the Republicans just aren't going to be able to help themselves - their hateful bigotry is going to keep rearing its ugly head.
The key moment is going to be when Candidate Lardbucket himself lets some of his own racism and misogyny fall out of his festering gob. That's going to be glorious.
They went from zero to fully mask-off in less than 24 hours. I'm amazed at the quickness of it.
If you were in a red state during the Obama campaign/presidency you wouldn't be surprised.
Yeah, the overly racist shit that popped up all over rural NV was pretty disgusting.
Honestly, I more disappointed and surprised at more than a few older Dems I know saying they just “couldn’t bring themselves to vote a Black into the White House.”
Honestly, I am too.
I fully expected it, but not this soon.
Looking forward to more though. Every one of these is just more votes against Trump.
My hope is not to change them. But it is to change their children. Or those adjacent. If we keep trying to change them, we will never win.
We'll never change the base. Their investment in Trump and conservatism is more akin to religious faith than ideology, and just as with religion, to question it would be to undermine the basis for their (clearly unjustified) conviction that they're decent and moral.
I don't think we really need to worry about changing their children either. Their children are already changing, which is an awful lot of the reason for their egregiously anti-democracy panic. They recognize at some level that the tide of history is turning against them, and they can't stand it. They think they can stop that process through force and fraud, and don't seem to understand that all they can do that way is maybe postpone it a bit, or that bybtrying to save their justly dying ideology that way, they ensure that a day of reckoning will come - that they'll go down in history as not just an abandoned ideology, but a justly condemned one.
The propaganda machine was full throttle on Biden is old and unfit, that as soon as switch happened Republicans were scrambling to grab onto the first thing they could come up with, of course racism and misogyny are the fallbacks.
I’d almost say they’re the default.
I've personally seen the "Genocide Joe" voices smoothly transition into "unhinged prosecutor" in no time flat.
I'd say that they've been mask-off for quite a while tbh.
Stayed mask off through the worst of covid, only put masks on to protest like little proud boys.
"they"
Little fish are taking these early bites. Don't play along.
I hear you and want to believe this too, but I am forever surprised at how much pro Trumpers are willing to ignore and just how many of them there are. His base will cheer him on and the rest will make excuses or turn a blind eye.
I hope I'm wrong
You're not. There has not been any room left for doubt for nearly a decade that he is anything but an opportunistic racist misogynistic queerphobic ableist christofascist grifter. Those who already support him will continue to cheer him on because he feeds directly in to their need to feel superior to "others", and no one still on the fence is going to suddenly have an epiphany..
He is also a convicted felon and has a civil judgement of being a rapist.
Adjudicated rapist just doesn't have the same ring to it
He's losing extremists to his VP pick having a immigrant wife and mixed race kids, and he's losing moderate with his VP pick who is an extremist.
He's soon to lose a huge amount of women over bodily autonomy, he's promised to build concentration camps for Latinos, he's literally citing 'operation wetback' as a mission statement. He's gonna really eat shit when he's the old idiot that can't talk right versus the average mental acuity displayed by an opponent who is too young to retire, and has public speaking skills beyond the average 12 year old.
This is blowing up so severely, he's already panicking.
operation wetback
Come again?
Also, why did my keyboard let me swipe "wetback"? Racist-ass keyboard.
As soon as the US seized control of the north western Mexican states (Mexico has states) they have been wanting to rid the land of non white people, under Eisenhower 'operation wetback' was an offical effort to remove non white citizens to Mexico from the western states that were formerly Mexican, many legal citizens were essentially kidnapped and dropped in southern Mexico where they knew no one, didn't have the culture, didn't speak the language, and didn't have connections, often on boat trips against their will that provided no food or water if they could avoid it, a huge amount of people died on the ships or very soon after being forceably moved off the ships. The economic devistation from population decline in many effected towns and cities took more than a generation to recover.
Mexico did request a cooperative effort to return Mexican nationals to Mexico, but rather than do this in a way that would make sense and not kill people, and focus on people with Mexican nationality specifically and not simply any Hispanic or part native person, the US decided the most fatal method was the way to go. Additionally citizenship would only be valid for white Americans. You know, Because they hate people who are even part native.
It was a deeply racist act of ethnic cleansing, and Donald Trump has said openly, in public, he wants this to happen again. Just as he said he wanted Japanese Internment Camps to happen for Muslim people, and I assume other non white populations.
This is as heinous as if he demanded The Trail of Tears be once again used to ethnicity cleanse native people from the eastern US. It's absolutely INSANE that this isn't even a news story.
The press simply do not care to report on this clear open call to ethnic clensing, just like they never covered Texas refusing birth certificates for Hispanic children born on US soil, or the asylum seeker holding prisons where every non white woman was forcibly given a hysterectomy. You know, forced sterilization of a specific ethnic group.
The silence has been deafening. -
willing to ignore
Ignore? I have it on unfortunately good authority that at least a decent chunk of his base agree with what he is spouting and are loving how he “speaks the truth” or “says what they’re all thinking”. Sadly he’s enabling more and more of them to feel comfortable saying the quiet part out loud and acting on their impulses.
Where I come from, if you speak like the GOP does you’d get shot at.
Do you guys have any vacancies?
I have no doubt his base will ignore it at best, and an awful lot of them will cheer it on.
But the base doesn't matter. They'll vote for him absolutely no matter what.
What matters is all of the moderates and independents and such - all of the people who could go either way. They're the ones who are likely to decide that Trump and the republicans are just too foul to support.
Republican Missouri secretary of state candidate Valentina Gomez just went on an unhinged rant attacking Vice President Kamala Harris on X, where she called her a “little wh*re,” as conservatives posted misogynist memes and jokes about Harris.
“Kamala Harris slept her way to the top, and Tulsi Gabbard already destroyed and exposed her in 2020. Kamala is just another DEI hire, and President Trump is going to eat her alive,” she said in a video.
I hate to break it to you but you’re never going to be racist or sexist enough to be fully accepted by them…
lol A token GOP minority female is calling Kamala a DEI hire. FFS
This psycho was just in the news for attaching her Democratic opponent for "raising a groomer" because one of her grandkids is trans. She makes Marjorie Taylor Green look polite by comparison, and the shame of it is that, given how state-level politics have been trending in Missouri, she's got a decent shot of winning in the general just because of the magic (R).
I'm originally from Missouri. There are a fuckton of racists there that will be cheering this on.
I also grew up in Missouri, though I live in Kansas now, and I know several people who fit that description.
The thing that kills me about Missouri is that it used to be a competitive state for moderate Democrata, but the rural chunks of the state fell victim to right wing populism during the Tea Party wave in 2010 and now there's a whole generation of Missourians whose defining political characteristic is rancorous hate for "liberal" city people. Kansas' politics aren't great, either, but at least the rural voters care about farm issues here... In Missouri, particularly south of I-70 where the only real industry they ever had was lead mining, all that's left is the hate they've been fed from right wing assholes.
Knowing republicans, is she projecting? 🤔
Nah. This lady clearly didn't sleep her way to the top.
She's not a whore
There's nothing wrong with being a whore
Usually in my experience, the people who call you a whore want to fuck you the most
Oh, like how they obsessed over AOC's feet?
She also doesn't not appear to be especially little.
Yeah, but "average-sized whore" doesn't have the same ring to it.
My guy, the GOP is so full of hate that they'd have to ascend to get to misogyny.
This is a female GOP candidate as well. Like, WTF.
Dwarkin isn't the most well liked feminist on by any side, but she did write a whole book about that sort of thing.
Keep your powder dry. “Little whore” is going to seem mild compared to what’s coming.
Harris has to run a smart campaign. A competence revolution. An adult is there to take the wheel.
Take some Obama racism, mix with some leftover Hilary misogyny, bake for 15 minutes, and ta-da! Anti-Harris campaign all set to be consumed by your average cousin fucking maga voter!
Descends into? As if they haven’t been drowning in misogyny for decades
Lmao, i was going to comment, ‘descends? My sibling in satan, they’ve always been there’
(even the Satanists don’t want anything to do with them)
I read that hearing Morgan Freeman…
I'd also challenge "unhinged" - the oppressive systems we all live under are designed to make this shit the norm, they not only breed and encourage racism, misogyny and the rest, but reward those with the privilege and sense of entitlement it gives who do them "best", it's why people in such positions can and do say such things, and suffer absolutely zero consequences.
(to be clear, I'm not condoning the behaviour or saying it's ok in any way, just that these people are not "unhinged", they are acting exactly in the way white supremacist patriarchal capitalism normalises and encourages them to)
“Further into”
This is excellent. They have absolutely nothing of substance to use as ammunition. They will have only their bigotry and absurd conspiracy theories as we head into election season.
Biden is a national treasure for this.
I went sleuthing last night. Skimming some pertinent imageboards/forums, looking for the spin they'd be going with. I encountered sheer panic and they got nothing, except misogyny/racism and the lame claim she isn't a mother. That's it - for now.
E.g. on /pol/ they were trolling themselves with a supposedly deceased Biden because he went AWOL for 5 days or something. LMAO.
misogyny/racism and the lame claim she isn’t a mother.
So... their problem now is that the new DNC front-runner also doesn't fit with their worldview? You're right, they really don't have anything. What were they going to do if Biden died? The lack of foresight here isn't surprising, but it certainly is impressive in its consistency.
That is outstanding! Thank you for getting your hands dirty for the additional insight and comedy!
Yeah, I dont see how this will do anything but put off the moderate republicans the MAGA cultists will go more extreme but those are lost anyway, but I assume there are plenty of registered Republicans who will be put off by the GOP tactics
This shows that the GOP is playing angry white man identity politics. If you aren't that you aren't welcome
Don't know if we do cake days here, but awesome username and happy cake day! I imagine you're a fellow reddit refugee :P
Thank you! Yes, I am a Reddit refugee. Please have some cake. I couldn't possibly eat all of this.
This is the same candidate who filmed an ad where she is running with a bulletproof vest, a pistol and a rifle down the streets and then says "in America you can be anything you want, so don't be weak and gay" and tagged Andrew Tate on it.
It seems she's amping up the Marjorie Taylor green strategy of saying the most outrageous offensive shit to trigger the libs and rally her bigoted base.
$5 says she calls Kamala's VP pick a pedophile.
If you need a fiver you can just ask, buddy
I could use a fiver my dear pal.
Bet you $5 you don't
Thats very subjective, i could use a fiver friend. So i take that bet
Is this before or after you give him $5?
in america...be anything you want
Except urself if you're gay cuz thats one of muh rulez that you have to live by
That's basically always the case for these "freedum" lovers or free speech stans. You're free to do, believe, say and read whatever you want - as long as it's exactly what we want you to do, believe, say and read.
Pretty sure she's secretly trans like all projecting gops.
Matt Walsh of all people calling someone a "thoroughly unimpressive human being" is so jarringly ironic it's hard to process
Matt who?
If straight as an arrow, happily married Kamala Harris is a whore, what does that make our convicted, porn star fucking, wife cheating, child molesting ex president Trump?
A STUD of course!! Haven’t you been paying attention?!
/s
That's literally the mentality -_-
Misleading headline. Whatever it is they are "descending" into, they passed through misogyny quite a while back.
lol come on guys that’s so lazy. Like sure, it’s offensive, but I’m sure she’s genuinely more entertained by the fact that she’s living rent-free in the heads of the racist and sexist portion of America.
And I would like to add: fuck you, trumpians. I am fucking enjoying having the shoe on the other foot. We’ll still give you hurricane repair money or whatever, but I am LOVING that you’re getting even a fraction of what the rest of the country and the world experienced for four fucking years.
... eight ish? or idk what youre referring to
I assume the Trump reign.
So normal GOP stuff?
Sadly, I’ve seen more than one “Joe and the Ho” bumper sticker over the last 4 years.
Good. This will piss off women voters.
Except the trumper women. Many of them are totally cool with misogynistic stuff as long as it’s against an other. One of the first reactions I saw to this sudden Kamala situation was a woman posting a still image of Harris talking with an O-shaped mouth. Then some obvious degrading comment about being ready to do her job or whatever.
They’re lost, may as well write them down forever. Doesn’t matter, though. This election will be won at the margins.
Yeah, I’m not too hopeful about them suddenly becoming rational.
exactly. we have gaslit them into a path of pitfalls.
Nothing new here. The GOP is the undisputed king of projection. Maybe they were projecting off Melania.
Melania is a terrible person but connecting this to her via the word "projection" means you think she is a whore, which is--wait for it--misogyny. I'm tired of hearing this shit from the same people who say they'll vote for Kamala. Do better.
I understand what you're saying and I agree with it emotionally but it's thanks to that do better mentality that they're able to keep everything under control.
Incredible how mask-off they've become over the last eight years. And we somehow tolerate it as though this is somehow acceptable behavior. Society should shun anyone who acts like this.
We don't. The cult with two brain cells fighting for third place however, gets off on that shit.
LOL, bound to happen. They will continue to lose their MINDS if she is in the general. Unhinged. I just hope not many normies fall for the bothsiderist bullshit we are bound to see from the "liberal media" - the same shit they did on Hillary - "many people are saying" that she's shrill, entitled, she cackles, and other such nonsense so they can appear "balanced" when the alternative is a fascist poised to end freedom of speech by the very same media...
The party that was Pearl clutching about the lefts "violent rhetoric" goes right back to crazy insults and unhinged accusations.Yeah I wonder which side is riling everyone up..
Descend? Pfff, that's their playground
Typical... Good lord they have zero shame.
having to disgorge years worth of hate in such a short time is surely going to overheat the GOP hate machine. just have to hope no one is in the blast radius when it explodes.
You missed a great chance for an overhating pun.
😐 I sux at teh interwebz 😐
my life comment history is littered with the what could have been.
smile
Who could have seen this coming? I'm shocked. SHOCKED, I tell you!
I remember when political attacks where factual. The republikkklowns just make shit up now, it's so childish it's honestly sad. They are no longer a political party, they're just trash.
"subhuman trash". please be sure to dehumanize them when you can. it's important.
This lady is fucking crazypants. She's really trying to ramp up the fear and hatred. She's also Hispanic, so I'm sure she's just batshit insane if she doesn't realize the party she's trying to align with is not working for her best interests.
Something something leopard something face...
Expect a lot more like this. It's all they have.
And they are going to be driven nuts by everyone pointing how unprecedented it is to have someone as old as Dementia Donnie in the general...
Like a bad whore? Or the kind Trump sleeps with?
ironically, this will help her
It is so delightful to see them panic like that.
Wait. So you’re telling me that water, when applied to most things, tends to make those things… wet?!
ffs what next? Bears that live in the woods often shit in the woods? Many species of birds are known for their ability to fly?
Psst- did you know the Pope is Catholic?
Yea and surface of the sun is hot
Am I being too optimistic in seeing this as an opportunity? Surely even MAGA-women object to someone being called a whore just because she’s successful? Surely even MAGA-women have limits to being treated as second class citizens? Surely even MAGA-women can connect that with old white men controlling their reproductive process and see the slippery slope they’re already flying down?
Never let yourself become convinced that conservatives will vote in their best interest. They aren't voting based on some logical paradigm, some set of criteria--they are voting on their emotions and their emotions are based on symbols. It's why the people who claim to be so proud of their Constitution know absolutely nothing about it.
The other replies are much more reactive, which I totally get given the discourse. I'd recommend a book called "Right Wing Women" by Dworkin to further explore this idea.
These MAGA women are likely trapped in their own belief, because their sense of self comes from the man that constantly dehumanizes them. If you escape, you are left with nothing (since that's what you have been indoctrinated to believe in). The only "out" is to be a good trad girl, and hope that the men praise you -- this is the only possible source of self-worth.
Not saying that this excuses their behaviour, but I hope this provides an additional layer of complexity rather than "MAGA women bad".
Maga-women have no principles, as is the case with most republicans
The choice of Kamala might be brilliant. The Republicans have already been showing their ass over abortion rights, and now that they've gotten used to saying the quiet part out loud their blatant misogyny towards Kamala will make it harder for them to sell "it won't get any worse."
well when your entire campaign strategy revolves around making absolutely sure that turnout is so low you get in by default, what did you expect
Descends?
Displays…
This is always who they were.
Very disgusting.
So they're saying Trump would sleep with her? Yeah I guess that's pretty insulting
Descends?
It’s going to get so much worse. “Joe and his ho” and “Kameltoe Harris” were very common things I’ve heard in the south.
There was a regular poster on Denver Post comments that would call her "heels-up Harris" - and the DP moderators would almost never ever take that down. So they were complicit in that.
yes! please keep doing this Republicans.....and louder, so that everyone can hear in the back.
Imagine how much louder and lower it will go if this is the start. And they won't be able to stop themselves!
Surprising nobody
Sigh. My state sucks.
Descends? It's where they live.
At least they are finally being honest about what they are.
So much for that unity message, huh?
But seriously, I think they just call every woman a whore that has any sort of power or station in life because they have zero respect for women. It's not that they think all women are whores, its that they don't thin women have any intelligence or skills and so to become someone with that kind of power, they must just be sleeping their way to the top. How else could they get that job/position?
It's weird how they act like they are mentally retarded as a flex and that actual mentally divergent people are so much more normal.
In my heart I know their emotions are being toyed with by criminals.
And I'm not even a lefty.
Yes....yes....Use the power of the dark side
Did anyone get a screenshot of this?
At least when a whore yells at me I've usually asked for it. Can't say the same of Republicans.
Just remember, projection is their modus operandi.
You can tell they’re paying attention when they write these articles:
Right-wing commentator Konstantin Kisin referred to her as a “vagina of colour,”
Kisin’s tweet:
You couldn't write a better finale to the last 8 years than a demented President resigning and handing over the candidacy to someone who was picked because she had a vagina of colour.
Should have their tongue cut out for that
Republican Missouri secretary of state candidate Valentina Gomez
I agree that's bad taste.
Instead what Republicans should do is spam social media with a compilation of Kamala Harris speaking so the world can see what a fkin joke this lady is. The word salads are mind boggling.
Donald Trump is known for his frequent use of bizarre non-sequiturs in his speeches. Some of the most notable examples include:
Iran Nuclear Deal and Family Genes: During a rally, Trump veered off-topic while discussing the Iran nuclear deal, mentioning his uncle, a professor at MIT, and boasting about his "good genes" and intelligence[2].
Hannibal Lecter Comparison: At a rally, Trump compared asylum-seekers to Hannibal Lecter, the fictional cannibal from "The Silence of the Lambs," calling him a "lovely man" who would "love to have you for dinner"[4].
Synagogue and Golf Challenge: Trump challenged Joe Biden to a golf match and bizarrely claimed Biden doesn’t know what a synagogue is, while also accusing him of having multiple facelifts[4].
These non-sequiturs often leave listeners puzzled and highlight Trump's unconventional speaking style.
hey there. i couldn't help but notice that you've been trolling the fediverse with your conservative talking points. how about you knock it the fuck off, go away, and never come back? think you could manage that?
Twitter is —> that way, bud. It’s owner’s has just as much dementia as his preferred presidential nominee, so you’ll fit right in!
She doesn't wear diapers, or require herself to wear diapers.
This is what I was waiting for.
Faced with a black/asian woman, the Republicans just aren't going to be able to help themselves - their hateful bigotry is going to keep rearing its ugly head.
The key moment is going to be when Candidate Lardbucket himself lets some of his own racism and misogyny fall out of his festering gob. That's going to be glorious.
They went from zero to fully mask-off in less than 24 hours. I'm amazed at the quickness of it.

Come again?
Also, why did my keyboard let me swipe "wetback"? Racist-ass keyboard.
An Eisenhower-era deportation program that set up the current dynamic of militarized deportation and border control.
As soon as the US seized control of the north western Mexican states (Mexico has states) they have been wanting to rid the land of non white people, under Eisenhower 'operation wetback' was an offical effort to remove non white citizens to Mexico from the western states that were formerly Mexican, many legal citizens were essentially kidnapped and dropped in southern Mexico where they knew no one, didn't have the culture, didn't speak the language, and didn't have connections, often on boat trips against their will that provided no food or water if they could avoid it, a huge amount of people died on the ships or very soon after being forceably moved off the ships.

Thank you! Yes, I am a Reddit refugee. Please have some cake. I couldn't possibly eat all of this.
This is the same candidate who filmed an ad where she is running with a bulletproof vest, a pistol and a rifle down the streets and then says "in America you can be anything you want, so don't be weak and gay" and tagged Andrew Tate on it.
It seems she's amping up the Marjorie Taylor green strategy of saying the most outrageous offensive shit to trigger the libs and rally her bigoted base.
$5 says she calls Kamala's VP pick a pedophile.
If you need a fiver you can just ask, buddy
I could use a fiver my dear pal.
Bet you $5 you don't
Thats very subjective, i could use a fiver friend. So i take that bet
Is this before or after you give him $5?
Except urself if you're gay cuz thats one of muh rulez that you have to live by
That's basically always the case for these "freedum" lovers or free speech stans. You're free to do, believe, say and read whatever you want - as long as it's exactly what we want you to do, believe, say and read.
Pretty sure she's secretly trans like all projecting gops.
Matt Walsh of all people calling someone a "thoroughly unimpressive human being" is so jarringly ironic it's hard to process
Matt who?
If straight as an arrow, happily married Kamala Harris is a whore, what does that make our convicted, porn star fucking, wife cheating, child molesting ex president Trump?
A STUD of course!! Haven’t you been paying attention?!
/s
That's literally the mentality -_-
Misleading headline. Whatever it is they are "descending" into, they passed through misogyny quite a while back.
lol come on guys that’s so lazy. Like sure, it’s offensive, but I’m sure she’s genuinely more entertained by the fact that she’s living rent-free in the heads of the racist and sexist portion of America.
And I would like to add: fuck you, trumpians. I am fucking enjoying having the shoe on the other foot. We’ll still give you hurricane repair money or whatever, but I am LOVING that you’re getting even a fraction of what the rest of the country and the world experienced for four fucking years.
... eight ish? or idk what youre referring to
I assume the Trump reign.
So normal GOP stuff?
Sadly, I’ve seen more than one “Joe and the Ho” bumper sticker over the last 4 years.
Good. This will piss off women voters.
Except the trumper women. Many of them are totally cool with misogynistic stuff as long as it’s against an other. One of the first reactions I saw to this sudden Kamala situation was a woman posting a still image of Harris talking with an O-shaped mouth. Then some obvious degrading comment about being ready to do her job or whatever.
They’re lost, may as well write them down forever. Doesn’t matter, though. This election will be won at the margins.
Yeah, I’m not too hopeful about them suddenly becoming rational.
exactly. we have gaslit them into a path of pitfalls.
Nothing new here. The GOP is the undisputed king of projection. Maybe they were projecting off Melania.
Melania is a terrible person but connecting this to her via the word "projection" means you think she is a whore, which is--wait for it--misogyny. I'm tired of hearing this shit from the same people who say they'll vote for Kamala. Do better.
I understand what you're saying and I agree with it emotionally but it's thanks to that do better mentality that they're able to keep everything under control.
Incredible how mask-off they've become over the last eight years. And we somehow tolerate it as though this is somehow acceptable behavior. Society should shun anyone who acts like this.
We don't. The cult with two brain cells fighting for third place however, gets off on that shit.
LOL, bound to happen. They will continue to lose their MINDS if she is in the general. Unhinged. I just hope not many normies fall for the bothsiderist bullshit we are bound to see from the "liberal media" - the same shit they did on Hillary - "many people are saying" that she's shrill, entitled, she cackles, and other such nonsense so they can appear "balanced" when the alternative is a fascist poised to end freedom of speech by the very same media...
The party that was Pearl clutching about the lefts "violent rhetoric" goes right back to crazy insults and unhinged accusations.Yeah I wonder which side is riling everyone up..
Descend? Pfff, that's their playground
Typical... Good lord they have zero shame.
having to disgorge years worth of hate in such a short time is surely going to overheat the GOP hate machine. just have to hope no one is in the blast radius when it explodes.
You missed a great chance for an overhating pun.
😐 I sux at teh interwebz 😐
my
lifecomment history is littered with the what could have been.smile
Who could have seen this coming? I'm shocked. SHOCKED, I tell you!
I remember when political attacks where factual. The republikkklowns just make shit up now, it's so childish it's honestly sad. They are no longer a political party, they're just trash.
"subhuman trash". please be sure to dehumanize them when you can. it's important.
This lady is fucking crazypants. She's really trying to ramp up the fear and hatred. She's also Hispanic, so I'm sure she's just batshit insane if she doesn't realize the party she's trying to align with is not working for her best interests.
Something something leopard something face...
Expect a lot more like this. It's all they have.
And they are going to be driven nuts by everyone pointing how unprecedented it is to have someone as old as Dementia Donnie in the general...
Like a bad whore? Or the kind Trump sleeps with?
ironically, this will help her
It is so delightful to see them panic like that.
Wait. So you’re telling me that water, when applied to most things, tends to make those things… wet?!
ffs what next? Bears that live in the woods often shit in the woods? Many species of birds are known for their ability to fly?
Psst- did you know the Pope is Catholic?
Yea and surface of the sun is hot
Am I being too optimistic in seeing this as an opportunity? Surely even MAGA-women object to someone being called a whore just because she’s successful? Surely even MAGA-women have limits to being treated as second class citizens? Surely even MAGA-women can connect that with old white men controlling their reproductive process and see the slippery slope they’re already flying down?
Never let yourself become convinced that conservatives will vote in their best interest. They aren't voting based on some logical paradigm, some set of criteria--they are voting on their emotions and their emotions are based on symbols. It's why the people who claim to be so proud of their Constitution know absolutely nothing about it.
The other replies are much more reactive, which I totally get given the discourse. I'd recommend a book called "Right Wing Women" by Dworkin to further explore this idea.
These MAGA women are likely trapped in their own belief, because their sense of self comes from the man that constantly dehumanizes them. If you escape, you are left with nothing (since that's what you have been indoctrinated to believe in). The only "out" is to be a good trad girl, and hope that the men praise you -- this is the only possible source of self-worth.
Not saying that this excuses their behaviour, but I hope this provides an additional layer of complexity rather than "MAGA women bad".
Maga-women have no principles, as is the case with most republicans
The choice of Kamala might be brilliant. The Republicans have already been showing their ass over abortion rights, and now that they've gotten used to saying the quiet part out loud their blatant misogyny towards Kamala will make it harder for them to sell "it won't get any worse."
well when your entire campaign strategy revolves around making absolutely sure that turnout is so low you get in by default, what did you expect
Descends?
Displays…
This is always who they were.
Very disgusting.
So they're saying Trump would sleep with her? Yeah I guess that's pretty insulting
Descends?
It’s going to get so much worse. “Joe and his ho” and “Kameltoe Harris” were very common things I’ve heard in the south.
There was a regular poster on Denver Post comments that would call her "heels-up Harris" - and the DP moderators would almost never ever take that down. So they were complicit in that.
yes! please keep doing this Republicans.....and louder, so that everyone can hear in the back.
Imagine how much louder and lower it will go if this is the start. And they won't be able to stop themselves!
Surprising nobody
Sigh. My state sucks.
Descends? It's where they live.
At least they are finally being honest about what they are.
So much for that unity message, huh?
But seriously, I think they just call every woman a whore that has any sort of power or station in life because they have zero respect for women. It's not that they think all women are whores, its that they don't thin women have any intelligence or skills and so to become someone with that kind of power, they must just be sleeping their way to the top. How else could they get that job/position?
It's weird how they act like they are mentally retarded as a flex and that actual mentally divergent people are so much more normal.
In my heart I know their emotions are being toyed with by criminals.
And I'm not even a lefty.
Yes....yes....Use the power of the dark side
Did anyone get a screenshot of this?
At least when a whore yells at me I've usually asked for it. Can't say the same of Republicans.
Just remember, projection is their modus operandi.
You can tell they’re paying attention when they write these articles:
Kisin’s tweet:
Should have their tongue cut out for that
I agree that's bad taste.
Instead what Republicans should do is spam social media with a compilation of Kamala Harris speaking so the world can see what a fkin joke this lady is. The word salads are mind boggling.
Look at this chit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQzJkwtKJqU
Donald Trump is known for his frequent use of bizarre non-sequiturs in his speeches. Some of the most notable examples include:
Iran Nuclear Deal and Family Genes: During a rally, Trump veered off-topic while discussing the Iran nuclear deal, mentioning his uncle, a professor at MIT, and boasting about his "good genes" and intelligence[2].
Hannibal Lecter Comparison: At a rally, Trump compared asylum-seekers to Hannibal Lecter, the fictional cannibal from "The Silence of the Lambs," calling him a "lovely man" who would "love to have you for dinner"[4].
Synagogue and Golf Challenge: Trump challenged Joe Biden to a golf match and bizarrely claimed Biden doesn’t know what a synagogue is, while also accusing him of having multiple facelifts[4].
These non-sequiturs often leave listeners puzzled and highlight Trump's unconventional speaking style.

hey there. i couldn't help but notice that you've been trolling the fediverse with your conservative talking points. how about you knock it the fuck off, go away, and never come back? think you could manage that?
Twitter is —> that way, bud. It’s owner’s has just as much dementia as his preferred presidential nominee, so you’ll fit right in!
She doesn't wear diapers, or require herself to wear diapers.
That's leagues above the orange fucker.
